It ain't fall 'til you see the Dark-eyed Junco

They're back!

 

 

My goal this past weekend was to see a Dark-eyed Junco. I had heard they had returned, although I had not seen one yet. The weekend before was a slow birding day, not much action. But this past weekend was awesome!

 

 

As you can see we spotted the Dark-eyed Junco....Fall has now started!

Taking time for the birds!

Red-bellied Woodpecker

Gray-headed Junco

(the one with the rosy color on it's back)

So, my friend Nancy called the other day. She told me that she had seen a Grey-headed Junco. (In Norman, Oklahoma!!!!) These birds are not normally anywhere in Oklahoma! She had contacted some people from the Audubon Society (which she is a member). They came out and documented it. So, yesterday my mother and I hopped in the car and drove over to see it. Amazing! Nancy had birds galore. We also saw a Red-bellied woodpecker, Spotted-Towhee, several type of sparrows, Chickadee, Tufted-Titmouse, Purple Finch, Red-winged Blackbird, Goldfinches and so on...
